I very rarely dabble with face patches (so please don't send me any requests!) but I've been trying out a few conversions of cyberface files from old games as well as converting player faces for use as coach faces. Using faces from NBA Live 2005, I've made what I hope will at least be passable temporary coach faces for Monty Williams (Hornets) and Mark Jackson (possible candidate for the Nets' vacancy), until more experienced face patchers make updates for them.

As I said, I very rarely try my hand at faces but hopefully they'll at least be passable placeholders until a more talented face patcher can provide updates for Williams (who has the Hornets job) and Jackson (should he leave ESPN for the Nets or another head coaching vacancy).

Thanks, but I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a cyberface patcher. Aside from the attempt at making Williams bald, they're just conversions of EA's faces from NBA Live 2005, so they don't involve a whole lot of "craftsmanship", as it were. But again, thanks for the comments, as I said hopefully they can be passable placeholders at the very least.

Sure, feel free to use it. As for Jackson, he hasn't got a coaching job at this time (and may not end up leaving ESPN) but he's been rumoured for the Nets job and I thought if nothing else it might be a nice alternate if someone wants to customise their Dynasty.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure I'll tackle those other coaches since I'm not experienced when it comes to creating brand new faces, as I said those are conversions from NBA Live 2005 faces which is obviously a much easier exercise than a brand new face from a photo. I might give them a shot at some point, I like to dabble every now and again and see if I'm any better than I used to be with graphics, but for now those are the only coach faces I have in the works.

I actually would've preferred to use NBA Live 2003's effects as you've got the booming sound effect on blocks which is perfect for an arcade mod, but the 2003 sound effects file causes 2004-08 to crash.

The rosters are coming soon (still can't set a date but they'll be out as soon as possible) but in the meantime, he's a new update that will be included in future versions of the rosters: an updated team logos bootup screen. I've also added some other old releases to the first post for archive purposes.

The first post has been updated with the newest releases first. I'll probably use this as a central thread for all future releases including the rosters, rather than creating new threads for the rosters as I've done in the past. I'll still create standalone support threads for the new updates in the NLSC Roster Patch Support section however.

Not that I'm aware of. Since those were converted from NBA Live 2005 player faces, what I basically did was extract the face texture, imported it into an NBA Live 08 player face file, added an alpha layer, exported it again, halved the resolution, imported it into a copy of an existing coach face .fsh file and then renamed the .fsh file as necessary. For the headshapes, I just tried the existing ones until I found one that worked.

As it is, that's possibly the long way around as I'm not really a face patcher. My guess is that the key points in the process are halving the resolution and importing into a coach face .fsh file, simply using a player face .fsh file doesn't work even if the name matches the PLAYERPKG value for the coach.
